The environmental impact of e-commerce has attracted scrutiny from EU policymakers concerned about the amount of packaging waste generated from growing online sales.

Brussels will seek to address this as part of a revision of its packaging and packaging waste directive, due on 30 November.

DS Smith describes itself as a “leading provider” of sustainable fibre-based packaging worldwide, which is supported by recycling and papermaking operations. The company says it has released the blueprint to coincide with the 150th year of the cardboard box and shows how how the packaging may evolve over the next 50 years.

We’re launching paper-based packaging for Finish, a first for automatic dishwashing products, that will reduce plastic by 75% in its stand-up pouch. Once fully rolled out, this packaging innovation will help to eliminate more than 2,000 tonnes of plastic every year, equivalent to 50 million 1-litre bottles.
